Mac DeMarco covers James Taylor while a guy in a gimp mask wanders the woods – watch

Mac DeMarco has uploaded a cover of James Taylor‘s ‘I Was A Fool To Care’, accompanied by a slightly unsettling video, to his YouTube account.

Recorded by the singer and his live keyboardist Jon Lent, the clip shows a man in some barren woodland, wearing a gimp mask shaped like a dog’s head, while lovingly admiring and caressing a picture of Taylor in his youth.

The description beneath the video reads: “Every now and then a doggie needs his sweet baby James. RIP Prince.”

Once the song ends, the man is seen with the mask pushed up so he can watch the ‘Deep Space Homer’ episode of The Simpsons, featuring Taylor and his “unique brand of bittersweet folk rock”, as dubbed by Buzz Aldrin in the scene.
